The kidnappers told them they were “security forces” and herded them into trucks and then drove them to a forested area with fortified camps.
Houses in the town were burned down in the incident. But perhaps your house was saved. Most of these girls were Christians. So what should you have done the next morning if this was your town?…

That’s less than the price of a pack of cigarettes per issue! And I don’t think you are still smoking are you? The Widow who gave two mites for her church, was giving about $6 in purchasing power today. Can’t you support progressive, forward looking, and independent Adventism’s voice with less than two mites an issue? And how about doubling or tripling that check to send gift subscription to your children? Let them know there is an Adventism they might still be able to identify with.
